KANUNGU– Gad Ahimbisibwe Rugaju the Deputy Resident District Commissioner Kanungu District  has directed the district Commercial Officer to file a list of all Emyooga Sacco’s Loan defaulters.

The D/RDC made a directive while appealing to all who benefited from Emyooga funds in 2021 and are yet to pay back as other members wait to benefit from the same revolving Fund to improve their businesses.

In a letter dated 19th May 2023, to the District commercial officer, Rugaju asked him to Visit all Kinkizi West and Kinkizi East Emyooga SACCOs and ensure that whoever got a loan pays by the end of May 2023 or their names be produced to be read on Radio stations and all other media outlets.

Rugaju confirmed to our reporter that the government has secured air time on various radio stations around the country that will be used to name and shame defaulters of Emyooga funds.

Asked where could be a background of the slow recovery of Emyooga funds, Rugaju pointed to the gaps which were not filled during the formation of Emyooga SACCOs at the initial stages of the program.

He also said that due to many loopholes at first, some of the group leaders have started to bribe auditors giving them fake audited reports which he said will be swept out.

Emyooga program is the Presidential Initiative that was launched in August 2019 as part of the broad government strategy targeting to transform 68% of homesteads from subsistence to market-oriented production with the overall objective of promoting job creation and improving household incomes.
